in Announce Your Game!
Hello,

I've been working on a application that will let users store log in information, safely of course :)
I got the idea from work....

My question is;
Are there more ways to make this safe and secure?
Are there ways to help stop this from being easy to hack?
so far friends could not hack into it.

Thanks!

    And my question is:

    More ways than what? Without knowing anything about your app, it's hard to answer that.
    Are your friends skilled hackers, or just folks who use smart phones?

    Their not skilled hackers but simple smart phone users. I'm sure if I have skilled hackers attempting then things will get scary then, anything can be hacked.

    I just want to know if there are more ways to make information safe that I should know about when using GS?

    Right now, you create a pin and only with that specific pin, you can enter your account.
    You can only create the pin once, and the only way to change your pin is to completely wipe the information

    Looks great man and I love the your demo ... Very professional. It is a good idea and from the limited info you provided on functionality you will need to implement encryption to encrypt that data incase the iDevice is compromised. A pin is not enough as it can be bypassed you need encryption too so if the pin is bypassed the data is protected by the encryption. It is not advisable to store this information as clear text. to my knowledge GS does not support encryption which is a vital component for your app ... ;-)

    Apple has a new embeded password creation/storage system. Good idea and good luck as Apple is stiff competition.

    Look into creating your own encryption algorithm, and try implementing it in GS.
    Definitely not easy, but I would say its necessary as well.

    i know this is not the newest thread but i thought id mention,
    my friend who has a jailbroken iphone can easily hack this with a program you can install on the phone using cydia. (i am not going to post the name of this program)
    with this program he can easily access any game/app and find out the code, and in this case, he would be able to see the password very easy.

    and no my friend isn't a hacker, he just watches youtube videos.

    [edit]
    but great looking app, and excellent video!
